Finally we have a finished set design, plus we go internet shopping! (Well the tutor does)

After hours, days, weeks, months, years.... Ok well after what felt like years we finally stopped destroying models and sat back and decided we had a finalized set design for The Wedding Singer. We had a long list of set that needed building. But at the same point we had to work out how other aspects of the set would come together.

In the end our Tutor went online and bought a scenic flat kit for us to construct that would give us flats to paint on and use as walls to create backstage space during the show.
This is the image they provide on their website (Right), (http://www.stagesuperstore.co.uk/) and it shows you the basic set-up of what you get. We would have to build them all ourselves but this is something that can be reused and reused for shows to come after this one. The best thing in my opinion about the package is that it comes with different sized flats, including:

  • 4 x Kit A (1.75m  x3m)
  • 1x Kit C (2 Flats) 1:(0.5m x 3m) 2:(1m x 3m)
  • 1 x Kit D 2 x (0.75m x 3m)
  • 1 x Kit E (Doorway) (1.75m x 3m with a doorway of 0.75m x 1.9m)
  • 1 x Kit F (Door) (0.75m x 1.9m)
  • 1 x Kit H (Window/Fireplace) (1.75m x 3m with a gap of 1.2m x 1.2m)
The scenery kits come ready to assemble, they are very stable and have corner pieces and stretcher shoes that maximize the strength of the scenery flat. The flats then get covered in canvas which is stretched and then  stapled to the scenery flats ready to be painted.
